Cobalt(III) nitrate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Co(NO3)3.[1] It is a green, diamagnetic solid that sublimes at ambient temperature.[2]
Structure
The compound is a molecular coordination complex. The three bidentate nitrate ligands give a distorted octahedral arrangement.[3] The nitrate ligands are planar. With D3 symmetry, the molecule is chiral. The Co-O bond lengths are about 190 pm long. The O-Co-O angles for the two oxygens in the same nitrate is about 68 degrees.[4] The same geometry seems to persist in carbon tetrachloride solution.[3]
Preparation and reactions
Cobalt(III) nitrate can be prepared by the reaction of dinitrogen pentoxide N2O5 with cobalt(III) fluoride CoF3.[3] It can be purified by vacuum sublimation at 40 °C.[4][2]
Cobalt(III) nitrate oxidizes water, the initial green solution rapidly turns pink, with formation of cobalt(II) ions and release of oxygen.[1] Cobalt(III) nitrate can be intercalated in graphite, in the ratio of 1 molecule for each 12 carbon atoms.[2]
